Your choice/ 09 Crossover WoE - RD

A muffled, cautious knock announced Wendy before she slowly opened the door of the hospital room. She slipped quietly inside and gave her sister a kiss on the cheek.

„Hey." Alice spoke, cautiously weighing her newborn baby from back and forth.
„Someone is already waiting for you." She continued, handing the little bundle to sister.

„Hello princess.", greeted Wendy her niece euphorically but throttled her voice immediately in a whisper when she noticed that the little girl could barely keep her eyes open.
„Oh sleep is needed. Just relax, princess. We'll have enough time to get to know each other. " Wendy happily stroked the yawning newborn's cheek.
„We should hurry up. FP stands with a running car engine in the parking ban. Are you ready?"
„I guess so. You take the girl. I carry the rest? "

„My pleasure!"

Alice grabbed her bag and walked ahead. Wendy, cuddling the baby close by, escorted her out of the hospital.

FP was really waiting with a running car engine  right in front of the hospital entrance. He wanted to make the journey home as comfortable and warm as possible for the baby. When he saw the three in the near the entrance he immediately got out of the car just to breathe a proud kiss on his newborn daughter's forehead. Then he took the bag from Alice's hand to stow it in the car. His look of love brushed hers and sank deep in her blue eyes. „ I love you!" He whispered in her ear before sealing her soft lips with a long, intense kiss. As he pulled away from her his hands caressingly embraced her slender face.

„I'm sorry to interrupt your reunion ." Wendy cleared her throat from the back of the car.
„It's not that far away to get home so you should be able to keep your hands off each other for a moment. I will take care of the kids when we get there and Chic got to know his baby sister ... "

„We'll sure keep your offer in mind, Wendy." FP grinned mischievously and Alice opened the passenger side door to get in the car.

„Just out of pure curiosity ... " Wendy shifted herself a couple of inches further forward inside the car to get closer to the couple.  „... you're aware that this poor kid next to me doesn't have a first name yet? Is that actually legal?"

FP started the car. It had just started to snow slightly so that the dancing snowflakes spread comfortably on the front window.

Alice turned to her sister.
„Since you're mentioning it ... FP and I talked for a long time just about that reason."

„How come?"

„Without your help the birth out there in the middle of nowhere on that day wouldn't have gone so smoothly. We owe you all a lot. "Alice moved closer to the back seat and reached for her sister's hands.
„Wendy, we want you to choose her first name."

„Are you sure of that? I don't think I'm the right person for such an important decision. "

„We are sure.", said FP now.
„It would mean a lot to us. You are more than a part of our family. We have faith. It's the only way to really say thank you."

Tears shimmered in Wendy's eyes.
„You know, you don't have to thank me. Everyone would have tried to help you with the birth. That was no big deal. "

„You are not everyone!" FP reminded her.

„You are quite sure? I mean, you'll have to spend a lifetime with my decision. "

„We thought about that very carefully. We trust you with your choice." A happy smile crossed Alice's lips.
„Take your time. And if you mess up, in any case we've already chosen a middle name that would change into the child's nickname. We don't expect you to present us a name today or tomorrow. Just think about."

Wendy nodded in agreement and smiled at her niece who was sleeping contentedly next to her.

FP received satisfied baby babbling as he entered the bedroom of his daughter in a still sleepy shape.
„Hey, what are you up so early?" He asked in surprise when he saw Wendy sitting in a chair beside the cot, holding the baby in one arm and a children's book in the other hand.

„I couldn't sleep anymore. And I had the impression our princess here wasn't angry to get some company and entertainment. Obviously it was a turbulent night for all of you. I was hoping to give you a little more time to relax. I know you're stressed out. "

„ A turbulent night is an understatement." FP sighed.
„This little one here has problems distinguishing between day and night but in any case, it's very nice of you to help us out, especially Alice is totally exhausted. After the baby was quiet Chic crawled into our bed. He was wide awake and told me about his school day yesterday. Thank god he is sleeping now. I'll prepare breakfast. I see you have everything under control here with the little one. "

„It's Joanna. Her name is Joanna. "

FP smiled.
„Your grandmothers name?"

„Yeah, I thought it the right on for her or do you think it's too old-fashioned?"

„No, it's perfect, Wendy. I think Alice secretly hoped you would choose that name. " He approached his sister-in-law and kissed her lightly on the forehead.
„Thank you, Wendy. Alice is a very different person now, so happy and balanced, since you both set aside your differences. You are the best sister-in-law in the world. "

„I' your only sister-in-law. "

„All the better so it's something very special to me." He leaned over his daughter carefully and stroked lovingly over the small delicate nose. „Joanna Gwendoline Jones. Perfect."

„You call her after me?" Wendy's eyes were watery.

„That was Alice's wish. All complaints should be  addressed to her. But like I said before, best sister-in-law. You'll find me in the kitchen. Coffee is waiting for you in 10 minutes. "
